Why millimetres and DPI both matter
A passport photo is specified in millimetres, but a file is measured in pixels. The bridge between them is the print resolution: at 300 dots per inch, 35 mm is 413 pixels. Get that wrong and the photo either prints too small or comes out soft, even though the file looked fine on screen.
Common sizes
- India — 35 × 45 mm, also used for most Indian visas and many forms.
- United States — 2 × 2 inches, square, which is 51 × 51 mm.
- United Kingdom and Schengen — 35 × 45 mm.
- Australia and Canada — 35 × 45 mm and 50 × 70 mm respectively.
What this tool does not check
It gets the geometry right. It cannot judge whether your background is plain enough, whether your expression is neutral, or whether your glasses are catching the light — and those are the reasons photos are most often rejected. Read the rules for your own authority before submitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
35 by 45 millimetres, which at 300 dots per inch is 413 by 531 pixels. That is the size produced here, so what you print measures correctly with a ruler rather than only looking about right.
Photo shops and home printers handle 4x6 inch prints cheaply. Laying eight copies onto one sheet means a single print gives you eight photos to cut out, instead of paying for eight separate prints.
The dimensions and resolution will be right. Whether it is accepted also depends on things no tool can check — a plain background, a neutral expression, no glasses glare, the face filling the correct share of the frame. Read your own authority's rules before you submit.
Because a photo measured in millimetres only has a real size once you know the print resolution. At 300 DPI a 35 mm width is 413 pixels; at 72 DPI it would be 99, which prints blurry. Passport authorities expect 300.
No. It is cropped and laid out in your browser, which matters here more than most places — this is an identity photo.
You can set the colour behind the photo, which fills any gap when the crop shape does not match. It does not remove or replace an existing background — that needs a different kind of tool, and a poor cut-out is worse than the original.
